BF2S Forums Any pilots here on this forum who plays Battlefield 2?

I flew a paper airplane once that i labeled F-22.

I play with a dude who used to be a USAF pilot.

I'd like to know, if there are more bf2 players on this forum that are pilot in real-life.
I am myself a F16C pilot at Volkel Netherlands airbase 302Sqn cpt. Richard.
Flew for 1200 flight hours in my F16C.

I know BF2 isnt any realistic about flying, but i like it.

Please share your aviation background.

one of my gaming buddy's, his dad fly's an F-16 for the dutch air force.....

What do they really call the flying stick that they use on airplanes? I know it isn't called a joystick, lmao...

A control stick.

I propose we introduce a new label with a higher degree of awesomeness. Brainstorm go!

Owning-rod?

Former airline pilot.  ERJ-145's and CRJ-200's.

Well, i used to play Combat flight simulator and FS2004 alot, not anymore. Don't even have a joystick now, i'm still interested in planes and whatnot though, moreso cars but still. I'm thinking of going into Aviation after i leave university but who knows, anything can happen.

The flying in BF2 is fun, it has a good feel and doesn't punish you so bad if you make slight mistakes. I'll probably get a joystick but for BF2 it really isn't needed.

How did you end up in the airforce flying F16's anyway? Just curious,

Respect. So what can you tell us about the abilities of planes and the effectiveness of AA systems against aircrafts?

The AA in bf2 is really FAR from real.

Depends on what AA is used (patriot, stinger) but in most cases, locked means death.
Thats why we operate at high altitude.

Abilities of an F16C?

Power Plant F-16C:
one Pratt and Whitney F100-PW-200/220/229:  27,000 pounds(12,150 kilograms) 
Length 49 feet, 5 inches (14.8 meters) 
Height 16 feet (4.8 meters) 
Wingspan 32 feet, 8 inches (9.8 meters) 
Speed 1,500 mph (Mach 2 at altitude) 
Ceiling Above 50,000 feet (15 kilometers) 
Maximum Takeoff Weight 37,500 pounds (16,875 kilograms) 


For the record, the F15E Strike Eagle doubles this performance.

How does gaining altitude affect a jet's performance? Teller me 'cause I don't knows (and don't want to go do independent research [please!])!!!!

That's what I was thinking, but I was confused because in BF2, you get faster the higher you go (thus...soopreem befuzzlement).

I really have no bearing on the workings of engines (especially jet ones) and our atmosphere . Although it was always obvious to me that video games aren't a representation of real world actuality, just kinda' made my uh...lack of situationally significant knowledge...a little more transparent (even though, in this regard, BF2 was mostly a party of correctitude). So uhm...will jets go haywire like they do in BF2 at a certain point in altitude?
